4066 bandwidth up to almost 100MHz?

Hello John,

I agree. What I have seen of digital video and TV out here (Western US) was rather disenchanting, to say it politely. Anything that moves fast was distorted into jagged edges. They must have thought now that Claude Shannon has passed away they could get away with less channel capacity than he said. That just ain't working.

Studio stuff is a different matter. But for personal use analog TV is just fine. Of course, all the bidders are already drooling over the extra megahertzes that are going to be auctioned off soon. Or so they hope.

Same here. I am an analog, ahem, analogue guy.

Indeed, that's one more reason why the 74hc4053, etc., is so attractive. The level shifting also gets you twice the supply-voltage range, to +/-7V, compared to 7V max otherwise.
